Tcltoio Fever.
The latest intelligence . from torta
xnouth and Norfolk represent the Fever
as still fearfully on the increase. The
Petersburg Express says i '
We deeply regret to state that tbe
" letters and papers receivtd from Nor
- folk and Portsmouth last evening Y-ep-
resent . the condition of things in those
ill-fated cities as truly distressing., In-
stead of an abatement of the disease, it
i on the increase. Ve received
,but one Norfolk paper, (the Beacon,)
and while it docs not gay that
the Fever is

deaths unaer us oouuary head, and the

son npparcntly in full health are taken
suddenly while in the" streets, Ttith

treatment alone can save the patient.

tality in Portsmouth, since the

Tire family of Mr. Alexander tiod win
which consisted of himself, his wife, his
daughter, Mrs. Glenn and her husband,
his son Fredrie, Mrs. Drewry, his sister

ped her into insensibility before he com
mitted the outrage-. He is about 36
years old, 5 feet 8 inches in height,

I do wish thee here now, dearest,
Though sometimes when I sleep,
I dream of thee, dearest,
And t-ften I do weep.
Many a day has passed, dearest,
Siuce thyface so sweet I've seen-,
And many more, dearest,
Shall pass before me unseen
I'm standinr near the windtfw, dettrest,
Where it is pleasant and serene;
But the place where you dwelleth
Is a plain that's beautiful and green.
Rut why think 1 ot'yon, dearest,
Fast passing to the tomb;
I almost forget myself, dearest,
And think that I am one.
My heart is often weak, dearest,
When I think of thee alone;
Before me is yotrr iriage, dearest,
Standing all alone.
! A"ncl if t knefir it right, dearest,
wuld tell thee a tale,
j Which would perhaps be interesting,

To one that is so beautiful ahd pale.
To give rac. your. praise, dearest,
Of eager, constant prayer;
TMi! would it not be joyful, dearest,
If I could tiot be there.

"The season of the year for feebleness of
body aad general debility is now approach

ten'tiftii to "Hampton's Celebrated Vegeta
ble TinGture," an! cflf.and do feel it our
duly, to recommend U to all who are dys
peptic 'or otherwise in a feeble state of
healtlv. We know the virtue, the supreme
excellence of this medicine, for we have tried
it to the saving of our own health, and, per
haps, fife also. No family f&ould be witb
out this medicine. "Especially in all lower
Virginia should 'Hampton's Tincture' be
used freely. The medicine may appear to
ths purchaser to be very dear at One Dollar
per bottle, but even at that price we consider
it the chea-pest medicine in all our country.
We doubt very much whether it ever fails
to do good.''
